A Few Facts About Quasiconformal Mappings
If then the maps and are both quasiconformal and have constant dilatation .
If then the map is quasiconformal (here is a complex number) and has constant dilatation . When, this is an example of a quasiconformal homeomorphism that is not smooth. If, this is simply the identity map.
A homeomophism is 1-quasiconformal if and only if it is conformal. Hence the identity map is always 1-quasiconformal. If is K-quasiconformal and is K' -quasiconformal, then is K K' -quasiconformal. The inverse of a K-quasiconformal homeomorphism is K-quasiconformal. Hence the set of quasiconformal maps forms a group under composition.
The space of K-quasiconformal mappings from the complex plane to itself mapping three distinct points to three given points is compact.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
